Technique Workshop and improvisation
With Anne Plamondon

In this workshop, Anne Plamondon shares her unique approach, her choreographic language and valuable improvisational tools. Tapping into the RUBBERBAND Method to which she actively contributed, this class offers exercises that strenghten dexterity and precision of movement on all axes, decision-making and the use of rhythmic variations. By learning the principles of the method, dancers will be ready to engage the floor with authority and finesse. An emphasis will also be placed on the dancers' concentration and visual connections in partnering segments and in performance. Throughout the class, the teacher will rely on key principles of her personal approach to movement, such as self-presence in performance and awareness of breathing.

WEEK 2
Workshop Dancing from Inside Out
With Margie Gillis

Re-awaken the joy of movement using dance exercises, games and imagery. This workshop is tailored to the students. Beginners gain a better understanding of the body, while the more experienced acquire a greater knowledge of their unique way of expression. Participants are sensitized to the links between thoughts, emotions and movement.  Emphasis is on observing the natural kinetic process: how our “inner landscape”, generated by electric impulses, is expressed in the muscles through movement. This in turn can support health, injury prevention, and convalescence.
